New Cameras to Watch Cameras That Watch You

Many people find speed cameras frustrating, and some in the region are taking their rage out on the cameras themselves.
But now there’s a new solution: cameras to watch the cameras.
One is already in place, and Prince George’s County Police Maj. Robert V. Liberati hopes to have up to a dozen more before the end of the year.
“It’s not worth going to jail over a $40 ticket or an arson or destruction of property charge,” says Liberati.
Liberati is the Commander of the Automated Enforcement Section, which covers speed and red-light cameras.
Since April, six people have damaged speed cameras.
That cop has a pretty ironic name.
